Dorothea to be staged in Paris

This spring, Parisians will have an opportunity to watch Dorothea – a play produced by the Ukrainian director Olga Ternova.

The En Details actors played this piece in a quite unorthodox manner. Activities on the stage are deliberately off-synch with the speech the spectator hears, and the reality developing before one’s eyes merges with the memories of the characters.

“The sincerity of feelings of the main characters combines with the relativity of slow, mesmerizing motion which rather metaphorically conveys the unfolding events and the turmoil deep inside the actors”, says Olga Ternova, the director. “It is as if the reality is being fused into some kind of a dream, conveying the thoughts and feelings of the characters stunned by the tragic but somehow miraculous events”.

Premiere on the stage of Théâtre La croisée des chemins is scheduled for March 23. Afterwards, the show will carry on each Friday up until the end of May.

En Details is a modern theater company with the core team of several young French actors and two actresses of the Theatre na Zhukah who currently reside in Paris.

Dorothea is based on “Barrier” – novella by the Bulgarian written Pavel Vezhinov (staging by Dmytro Ternovyi).
